Love it! Yuki’s pizza is always a must from now on.

Did not enjoy the sushi. My husband and I ordered the sushi for 2 platter and when we got home, the sushi was primarily rice and the fish portion was minimal. We called the owners and they were defensive saying this is how sushi is in Japan. I have had much better sushi at Kotobuki and would probably go there as it never disappoints.

This restaurant is small and cute. The owners are a couple that have owned this place for 16 years and they are really cute, patient, kind, and knowledgeable of the different foods and drinks they are serving. Plenty of options for meat eaters and veggie eaters. If you're looking for a small, quiet and quaint place, give them a chance.

If you are looking for a healthy, delicious, fresh and authentic Japanese restaurant in Long Island… Plan an evening out to Takumi Japanese Restaurant! I had the Japanese Style Sushi meal which came with 9 beautiful and intoxicating pieces of high quality sushi, chefs choice! I even started with the mouth watering grilled Himachi Kama which was totally to die for. The good news is… Once you eat here you will feel full and satiated all night long! You won’t want a second meal later. Very wonderful and homey experience! The prices are worth every bite and reasonable, I’m totally coming back!

This is the best sushi and Japanese food we have had in years. Authentic Japanese dishes and quality sushi. The service and atmosphere are excellent. Everything was presented beautifully.

We went here last night to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We were met at the door by the smiling waitress, who proceeded to offer us hand sanitizer and hot towels. The friendly attention had me thinking we were going to have a great dinner. Until the food came. The shumai dish was 5 of the tiniest morsels I've ever seen of this appetizer, with okay taste. The agé tofu was pretty tasty and the (red) miso soup was fine as well. But the sushi was profoundly awful. I paid $18 for a special roll (sky tree) that was a thick layer of rice stuffed with mayonnaise glop that tasted fishy without any semblance of the actual fish that may have gone into its making. I've honestly never had worse sushi in a restaurant on Long Island. My husband's Mets roll was somewhat better in that you could see the fish, but it did not taste fresh and was rolled loosely with a haphazard presentation on the plate. Maybe they were having a bad day, but I will not take the chance of going back to to see if that's the case. It's a shame, because the staff appeared so nice and earnest. I really want to like this place.

Stopped in hoping to get some ramen, but they don’t offer it on Mondays. Went with the udon noodle soup, a few apps, and a sushi roll. It was great and will be back to try the ramen. The service was amazing and very welcoming. Great find while on that side of Long Island

Takumi is one of the best, most authentic Japanese restaurants on Long Island. The food is incredible, and everyone who works there is so friendly! Everything about Takumi is just right, definitely a 10/10.

Just went last night for ramen, and WOW! Probably some of the best ramen I’ve had. The duo working was incredibly friendly and gave such a nice vibe to the place. The restaurant itself was very clean, and well decorated. After trying a bunch of ramen restaurants on the island I could say I’ll definitely be going back.

I'd been to Takumi several years ago, but it was the first visit in a while. We had a party of 7 with reservations for a Saturday night. Our group are all frequent diners at various Japanese restaurants.This is a tiny restaurant, but they try to make the most of the space. As far as I know, you need reservations, at least on the weekends. We were seated right away, and there was one other party of 3 or 4 dining while we ate. Another party was finishing up and leaving as we were getting settled, and I saw then turn another group away, so they are taking precautions for Covid. The waitress even stopped me & gave me hand sanitizer before I could sit down.I was a bit surprised by the menu, though. There were no bento- box style meals. I didn't see any great dinners featuring multiple sushi rolls or sashimi pieces. In fact, for a restaurant that says its all about authentic Japanese food, the few "meals" were less than inspiring-- a Maki roll dinner with 3 very basic rolls, like a California roll & 2 other equally American rolls. They had some interesting specialty rolls. But only a la carte, not in any kind of meals. And the waitress was really friendly & got into the spirit, as it was a birthday for one of my friends, but not overly informed. For example, one of my friends asked how big the Maki rolls were, as she wasn't sure how many to get. The waitress said 8 pieces, not 6. My friend asked about that, as we are used to 6 pieces, & the waitress said people to get more pieces. So we asked if the rolls were made bigger than average, or just cut into more pieces? The answer was one we then ended up hearing multiple times in the night- that this is an authentic Japanese restaurant, not a Chinese Japanese Restaurant, so they do things the authentic Japanese way. How did that answer the question? (P.s. they cut the same size roll into 8 pieces instead of 6),The "this is an authentic Japanese restaurant, not a Chinese Japanese restaurant" started to get annoying when we got the food. 2 of us ordered shrimp tempura Maki rolls. We have ordered these rolls at JAPANESE restaurants across LI, NYC, & even other states for tears, & you get a piece of shrimp tempura, sometimes with avocado, sometimes cucumber. Roll it in rice & wrap in seaweed, add tempura sauce, any toppins, and slice. That is also what the menu said, but the shrimp in our rolls was boiled shrimp, not shrimp tempura. There was no tempura batter anywhere. Instead of apologizing or even saying she'd check with the kitchen, the waitress gave us a hard time. Saying we must be used to Chinese Japanese food. "We are one of the top 100 Japanese restaurants on LI & that's shrimp tempura roll." We tried to tell her no, & even showed her it was boiled shrimp. But we were just wrong. In my experience, at the very least someone should have said sorry, we use a different recipe than other restaurants. It was things like that, and all the "Chinese Japanese" talk that got to us.The shrimp tempura rolls were not shrimp tempura & not good. They were out of the seaweed for seaweed salad, which was a disappointment for some. But the specialty rolls were very good. Geisha roll & Ichi roll were excellent. An udan noodles bowl was very good. Desserts were also delicious. And as I said, the staff did get into the birthday & socializing with us, which was fun. So the night had ups & downs. But I would stay away from the shrimp tempura rolls if I go again!
